Medical logistics management program

A method for conducting field medical services planning for an operational scenario, comprising:

• a) defining parameters of an planned operational scenario for evaluation;
• b) creating a medical logistic plan for said operational scenario by setting a plurality of parameters of said medical logistic plan, including
• i) providing a geographical view of said operational scenario and medical logistic plan including terrain;
• ii) setting up Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) for said operational scenario, comprising
• 1. determining the locations of said MTFs;
• and
• 2. defining each said MTF's capability and supply inventory, and
• iii) defining transportation parameters, comprising a crash probability, an assign routes, and a transportation schedule and routing policy;
• c) performing a simulation of said operational scenario using said parameters of said medical logistic plan;
• d) storing simulated data and said parameters of said operational scenario stimulation;
• e) repeating step (b)-(d) by changing said plurality of parameters of said medical logistic plan;
• f) reporting results of each of said simulation to a user including i) a casualty summary comprising casualty arrival plots by time;
• types of injuries, including deaths;
• ii) MTF and resource utilization;
• iii) cumulative total of the demands on transportation by time, or the highest demand for transportation;
• and
• g) selecting the most suitable medical logistic plan based on results of each said simulation;
• h) generating a list of medical capability and transportation assets needed for said most suitable medical logistic plan based on said casualty summary and the parameters of said medical logistic plan, wherein said list include:
• i) the quantity of supply, personnel, and transportation assets;
• and
• ii) locations of treatment facilities.
